Hello!
You must install and configure Samba. It will allow you to integrate your
Linux box in a NT domain (some part of support is still experimental). If
*NETBIOS* name resolution is what you intend, Samba is for you.
On the other way, if you type in Netscape *Internet* adresses, a Domain
Name Service (DNS) is what you're looking for. It has almost nothing to do
with NETBIOS.
In the second case, either use /etc/hosts, set a caching-nameserver or
configure your machine to use your provider's DNS.
Regards,
Razvan
